Very easy to make...TXT file amalgamator...anyone want this project??
I'd like a very quick utility that would amalgamate the text content of several notepad/txt files.
The reason is simple: PT has a limit of around 40 TXT files that you can tell it to import at once...I often want to import many, many more...so it would be great if I could somehow dump 200 TXT files into some sort of utility that would take them and spit out a single txt file. Any tips would be very much appreciated...there might even be a way for me to do this with a simple macro I could create...but i don't know how. |

If using windows/dos, from a console prompt:
c:\>copy file1.txt + file2.txt + file3.txt newfile.txt I'm sure you can do nearly the same thing with Linux, etc. Regards, T |

C:\Documents and Settings\CORed>help copy
Copies one or more files to another location. COPY [/D] [/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/A | /B ] source [/A | /B] [+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination [/A | /B]] source Specifies the file or files to be copied. /A Indicates an ASCII text file. /B Indicates a binary file. /D Allow the destination file to be created decrypted destination Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new file(s). /V Verifies that new files are written correctly. /N Uses short filename, if available, when copying a file with non-8dot3 name. /Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file. /-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file. /Z Copies networked files in restartable mode. The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless COPY command is being executed from within a batch script. To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format). |
